Best Practices for Improving Measurement Accuracy and Reliability

摘要

Mold builders who check gage readings and accuracies with gage blocks and ensure a reliable reference with granite surface plates will maintain primary standards that ultimately lead to reliable gaging and better-quality molds. Mold builders who produce the highest quality molds should use the best quality control practices, as the quality of a mold is only as good as the accuracy and reliability of measurements. A mold builder can avoid difficult gaging situations by enforcing strict quality control processes, which ensure gages are properly calibrated to international standards of measurement and employ proper care and maintenance procedures to maintain accuracy. This approach to measurement and inspection will ultimately lead to consistent, reliable gaging results and improve mold quality.
